When the Impossible Becomes Possible By VisciousRos

Chapter 10 : Tom Riddle Jr

The next few days we spent allowing the new bond between us to settle and to once again get used to one another as our magic entwined together and refused to part. The bond allowed us to sometimes feel what the others were feeling in a muted sense. On the days that the others focused on their homework or personal things I used that time to investigate Tom Riddle. Sitting in the R.O.R with nothing surrounding me but a huge fireplace and a desk which I sat at, I focused on the notes I had taken in front of me.

THINGS KNOWN ABOUT TOM RIDDLE JR:

1. He made seven Horcrux's by the time Harry turned seventeen

2. He was Slytherin's Heir along with the Gaunt's Heir (even if the Gaunt family vault was empty)

3. He was a powerful Half-Blood (Pure-blood mother and Muggle father)

4. He grew up in an orphanage which allowed him to somehow gain control of his magic at a young age through the pain of others

5. He started gathering his own followers sometime in the middle of his Hogwarts years (mostly guessing here)

6. Because of the damage done to his soul by splitting it into so many pieces have caused him to lose his mind.

Sighing I ran a hand through my hair as I looked over the six things, I had so far written down about him. Its known that he was made Prefect and later even Head Boy and that he was capable of framing Hagrid for the death of Myrtle but the thought process and the true story behind the things he did were unknown to me at this point in time. I knew I would need the help of the Goblins to put Riddle back together seeing as they were known for their rituals. Moving on to look at the chest sitting in front of me, that took a while to purchase from those greedy goblins, the sigh I was going to once again let out faded as something right happened. Having a chest spelled and carved with the best of Runes that the Goblins offered wasn't easy to purchase but now that I owned one, I could start collecting the Horcrux's starting with the one inside this very room. Closing my eyes, I focused on picturing a room empty for all but the Horcrux to appear and slowly but surely, I felt as everything seemed to shift and empty out. Opening my eyes, I was in no way surprised to find it sitting upon a dusty side table. Shaking my head, I moved closer and reached for it after pulling on strong spelled Dragon gloves. The intake of air as Riddle's very magic seemed to rush and wrap around me almost caused me to drop the thing. It was almost like it was trying to speak to me, only with words like MINE to be the only thing to come across. The pure possessiveness of the diadem was unbelievable and the with part of his magic and his very soul cocooning itself around me as if to wrap me up and never let me go was part breathtaking as it was creepy as fuck.

"If this is how this Horcrux reacts to me I really don't want to know how the others will, especially the diary one." I whisper to myself as I carefully placed the diadem into the chest before letting it snap shut in front of me completely cutting his magic and soul piece from my own causing almost a jarring effect. Shaking my head almost like a dog would after getting a bath I moved to shrink and hide away the chest into the pouch I received from my parents that still to this day hung from neck hidden from all others.

"Note to self, have either Blaise or Neville up to speed and ready to help next time. Or maybe not." Finally leaving the R.O.R I made my way to my Common Room to meet up with my two friends. I knew I should focus on finding a way to steal Ron's rat before the year was up and I would but I also knew I had to focus on getting Neville and Blaise up to speed and prepared to take on more responsibilities that would help me. While we might only be eleven of age it didn't mean we couldn't be mature or even take on things that most adults would. Getting my own house elves to help sort through all the Fan Mail I had gathered over the last ten years helped allow me to focus on other things seeing as how the Goblins would sort out anything cursed or dangerous to my health, for a price of course. Thankfully I was able to earn the top spot of my year with my group of friends taking up the rest with Hermione sometimes being second place occasionally. With Neville wishing to be a Healer I knew I would have someone to not only have my back but also heal me and those I would gather to my side which was a bonus. Blaise would be not only a adviser but my spy in the shadows and even the one to kill those who might try to overtake my throne. I needed to find people for other important roles that needed to be filled. Daphne I wanted to be my spy inside the women's gatherings and even be my poison expert, Theo I wanted to be my researcher and have him work his way into becoming a Rune's Master, and last but not least I wanted to gain the Weasley Twin's trust and loyalty so I would have two talented ones to create not only weapons but things to help us escape and communicate without others being aware. This year was starting to come to an end, and I had a lot still needing to be completed for this year alone not counting needing to gain the attention and obsession of Riddle himself so I wouldn't have to worry over him trying to kill me. My plans to gain his attention was to act in a way that would debunk the whole savior and Dumbledore's errand boy without tipping my hand to far that I would gain the attention of Dumbles. It was a slippery slope I was on and I wouldn't change it for the world.
